I'll probably buy the game because it's quite fun, but I hate it that it's much easier to connect with hooks than it is with jabs. I (Ali) was playing against the CPU (Tyson), and these were my fight totals:

Total: 101/172 (58%)
Jab: 21/47 (44%)
Straight: 31/49 (63%)
L Hook: 11/13 (84%)
R Hook: 19/33 (57%)
L Upper: 14/24 (58%)
R Upper: 5/6 (83%)
Power: 8/15 (53%)
Counter: 5/7 (71%)

I knocked Tyson out at the end of the 3rd round with a flash KO by a straight punch. All my punches had higher connect percentages than the jab, and it's the most counter prone punch, too.

I also hate it that the CPU controlled Tyson is incredibly stupid. He landed 102 punches, but attempted 241 for a total percentage of 42%, against my 58%. His entire strategy consisted of "LET'S FLAIL LIKE IT'S PARTY TIME! HOORAY!".

Today I watched Ali-Lyle, Foreman-Norton, Ali Frazier 3 and Robinson-LaMotta 6 and I have come to the conclusion that this game is close to being spot on. A couple of tweaks and it will be dang near perfect as far as in the ring. Raise block strength by double and power by about 25% and it will be the boxing sim ever.

Speaking of MMA the judging is even worse than EA MMA. The one fight I actually managed to fully play through without turning this garbage off was a draw!? Cotto's face was complete mush (well I guess the damage modeling is pretty nice at least so it's not alllllllllll negative) and I knocked him down in the 3rd. They somehow gave the 1st and 2nd to him despite the fact he didn't do any damage and the 3rd was 10-8 for me.

This is one of the few times I'm glad I'm not a game reviewer because I'd have a helluva time coming up with words to describe how awful this game is. Don't ship it to stores,ship to Mexico next to the ET landfill.
damn, I was really looking forward to your definitive review of the product after your entire 1 fight campaign

I understand you don't like the demo, but are you really comparing it to ET? This is a top candidate for Exaggeration of the Year. I, too, feel that the judges don't make any sense at times and value volume punching a lot more than they should, but hey, at least your punches don't go through your opponent like trucks go through scenery in Big Rigs Over the Road Racing.

I'm being redundant so I'm not even going to post the stats that allowed one judge to give my opponent the second round. I repeat:

EA-STOP BEING CUTE WITH THE SCORING! YOU"RE GOING TO PISS A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF!!

WE don't need you guys to recreate blind or stupid or paid off or all of the above judges. It's not necessary.

Actually we may need a judge slider.

Would you care to elaborate on why you feel this game is almost spot on???

"Spot on" is strong terminology, but this game is pretty solid, and I'm optimistic that with sliders there is no telling how good it can be.

Aiight fellaz, SOMETHIN' is up w/ the demo...it is MUCH harder to win a fight now. there's hardly any cuts...before it was a blood bath just about every fight w/ me. This demo has just turned 360° Stamina is a HUGE issue now...ya gotta check it out.
 
# 330 allBthere @ 02/21/11 06:49 PM
all good but too much range with back-hand uppercuts (right uppercut for orthodox) you can be out of range for a jab and get clocked with it. Things like this is why the jab to powershot ratio is off. why throw a jab in many cases? it's not as bad as UFC 2010 which made it totally irrelevant, but there are instances where you are punished throwing a jab from long range where you really shouldn't be.

I can live with it though.

I hope in retail there are many boxers looking to get in and out instead of terminator charge you. If someone is looking to get just in range for a one-two and get out it will completely change my strategy (which would be nice)

Where's the "Where'd ya get it" thread?
 
# 333 Flightwhite24 @ 02/23/11 05:45 PM
I got a text about an hour ago from a guy I bought games from early in the past and he asked me if I wanted FNC? I said HELL YEAH!!!
 
# 334 Flightwhite24 @ 02/23/11 07:21 PM
Just picked up 2 copies for the PS3. Will be on when I get home.
 
# 335 Flightwhite24 @ 02/23/11 10:30 PM
1st fight was Leanord vs Judah default Pro. I knocked him out in the 4th rd. Now I'm going Leanord vs Hagler. In the 1st fight the cpu threw. 108, 105, 100 punches
 
# 336 phillyfan23 @ 02/23/11 10:38 PM
100 plus punches per round??? wow try zeroing out the stamina and punch output for the cpu and see how it turns out. Will ease a lof of people's minds if these 2 sliders work.

thanks
 
# 337 Flightwhite24 @ 02/23/11 10:50 PM
Just knocked Hagler out in the 5th. Phillyfan I'm gonna make those changes you mentioned and fight the same fight. Hagler CPU threw 470 punches. Again this is on default PRO
 
# 338 Flightwhite24 @ 02/23/11 10:53 PM
Not seeing a Stamina for the cpu only OFF, DEF awarness and cpu punch output
 
# 339 acts238shaun @ 02/23/11 10:56 PM
There's one stamina slider for boths sides.
